Answer explanation

Choice C is correct. The y-intercept of a graph is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis. The line graphed intersects the y-axis at the point 0,5. Therefore, the y-intercept of the line graphed is 0,5.

Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual errors.

Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual errors.

Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual errors.
